Easy favor planning

1. Make one favor up as you would like them to appear and count the pieces of candy that it includes. Example: 25 Jelly Belly jelly beans


2. Take number of candy pieces for one favor and multiply by the number of favors that you will need. Example: 25 beans x 100 favors = 2500 beans


3. Divide the resulting number by the number of pieces of candy per pound, shown on the table below.
 


Type of candy Approx. quantity (pieces per lb.)
Jelly Belly jelly beans 400
Chocolate Dutch Mints® (Assorted or White) 210
Champagne Bubbles 202
Almonds (Assorted or White) 110


Example: 2500 beans/400 beans per lb = 6.25 lbs or 6 lbs, 4 oz.
